One of the best parts of the hearing was all of the candid photos of Secretary Clinton’s many facial expressions.
Twitter was ablaze yesterday with negative comments about the 11-hour Benghazi Committee hearing with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. According to the Maddow Blog, even conservatives Tweeted strings of negative comments about the GOP’s poor performance.
